What Causes Swelling In Stomach,groin And Dizziness After Placing Stent In Heart?
Hello! Welcome on HCM! Her symptoms seem to be related to an infection. The fact that she feels dizzy when standing up could be a sign of orthostatic hypotension. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with her doctor for a careful physical exam and some tests: - a resting ECG - a chest X ray study - an abdominal ultrasound - complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation - kidney and renal function tests. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Hope to have been hepful! Kind regards, Dr. Iliri
